What UMS scores should I be aiming for?

Gonna watch this seeing as I will find it usefull.

But for MATHS at Cambridge, the do care a bit about module scores, but at the same time they will probably give you an interview if all your AS grades are 'A'.
On the same level, if you only just scraped an 'A' in your modules you might want to consider applying to a less competetive college (EG not Trinity).

As for actually getting a place, a lot is based on your interview, how well your problem solving abilities are -your AS module scores do not reflect your problem solving abilities.

As for re-sits, you need to submit your UCAS form by the 15th October (for cambridge), which is before resits can take place. As such, it is ONLY worth re-sitting if you think you may not get an A* overall if you do not re-sit. Otherwise, don't bother re-sitting.

Physics will be different.

I don't really know about what Cambridge accept/ reject, as I have just finished AS levels. However, it is possible to make up for (although it is a good score) the 87 to get a 95 average, especially as you have taken it a year early.I also do further maths, and I got an 88 in D1 but now have an average of over 95 (albeit only just), so it is definitely doable. Also, the fact that you did so well when taking it early indicates that you will be able to get good marks if you work hard. However, i guess you will have more time next year having already done two modules that everyone else will need to do, so if you feel that you can do better than 87 when resitting then it may be worth re-doing. You should e-mail the universities admissions to find out their stance on re-sits if you do plan to do that though.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to resit it to pull up your average, C2 should seem very easy once you have moved onto C3 and C4.

For maths at Trinity last year the average average score was 96% in relevant A-Level exams for applicants (from what I remember of the feedback), so as I only had an average of 90% in A-Level maths this was a hindrance.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm more likely to do Physics instead of Maths - would module scores in maths count as much if I were to apply for Physics at uni? I understand that uni physics contains a lot of maths, so would they look at module scores?

If anything, Maths will probably be considered more important, as it's a harder A-Level. e.g Imperial College London specifies that the A* in their A*AA Physics offer is to be in Maths, and you can get an A in Physics.

If you're just going into year 12, and you retake C2 next Jan/June, I don't think the universities will know that you retook it, because when you apply to UCAS you'll have the results of your second attempt.

I got an average of 97 in Maths, and 92 in Further Maths, and I got into Imperial for Maths. I think they care more about any admissions tests/overall grades than specific module marks. In fact, none of the uni's I applied to (Oxford, Imperial, York, Liverpool, Birmingham) asked for them. In fact, the only place that emailed to ask (that I know of) is UCL.

If anything, they'll look upon you doing it early favourably.

But isn't it compulsory to state all the grades you've got, even if you've taken resits? Or because I've taken it a year early, will unis not know about it?
